At SWTVMC, we are dedicated to our community and committed to improving it.

 

Hospital tours
We are proud of what we do and love to show it off! Have you ever seen our surgical suite? Do you know how animals are monitored in surgery? Have you ever seen an x-ray or a bladder stone? We give interesting, age appropriate tours for children and adults. Call Mary, our practice coordinator, 830-278-4441 to set up a behind the scenes tour of our facility for your group. Children and adults alike enjoy seeing the inner working of our hospital.

 

 

Rabies Drive
Every spring we travel to nearby communities to make sure as many pets in South Texas and the surrounding Hill Country communities receive vaccinations as possible. We want pet care to be convenient and easily accessible. Watch for 2022 dates to be published on our Facebook page. Includes Uvalde, Sabinal, Knippa, Camp Wood, Batesville. We usually hold our Rabies clinic in March so look for updates.
